I recently spent 3 months in another country learning the language. While there I purchased a dozen or more CDs and ripped them to MP3 for my iPhone. I used my laptop and had no problem getting metadata. Now that I am home I want to re-rip using my desktop: I want flac files for Sonos, and the CD drive on the desktop is a better unit and is configured for AccurateRip where I've never gotten that to work on the laptop. However, I can't get my desktop to pick up the metadata. For one multi-disc collection (100 songs) it insists on using AMG, which only has the album title (wrong at that) and no track titles. When I click on the Review Metadata button, there is no data in any of the 4 metadata databases, and of course, they are all greyed out. If I put the disc back in my laptop, I can see the data I want under freedb, and of course it is selectable.
Why am I getting different results on different computers, and how would I force my main ripping machine to do pick up the same metadata that my laptop seems to find with ease?
(And a side question: I see that many forum members say they pick up metadata from other sites besides the four included in dbPowerAmp, and then somehow add that data to their rips without laboriously typing it in track by track. How are they doing that?)
Thanks...
